LEEETS RIDE!!! KAMEN RIDER!! FIGHT THE FIGHT!!!!!
Ok joking aside , I must admit my favorite part of the show was when they had to filmed original footage for Onyx, and plus seeing the Ryuga suit as a good rider was kinda nice.

The opening is not the shows strong point
Yeah I´m really curious to see how they did that. But thats still a long way to go One thing I also dont really like about the show is that sometimes it tries a bit too hard to come off as cool and stylish and feels really forced at times. |

I really really like Dragon Knight. In terms of original footage and changed story I think it's one of the best American-adapted tokusatsu shows out there, even if the story and acting is lacking in some areas.

Its definitely the most creative. I always liked it how they take scenes out of the last ten episodes of Ryuki and put them into the first ten of Dragon Knight. Or how they expand the role of certain Riders that had only minor appearances in Ryuki and its movies.

After a brief hiatus, Kuuga 36.
So Sawatori takes a more active approach, going directly to the ruins to research things more closely. Additionally, scientist lady (Who seems to never want to interact with her son) wants to research how the Grongi's weapons operate, since they seem to transform in some manner similar to Kuuga's alternate forms. In the meanwhile, the bat grongi seems to start his own game up and gains a power boost, making him more of a threat. However, rather than go kill, he targets another Grongi first. It's the (I have no idea what animal this is) Grongi, who has recently been going around murdering taxi drivers by melting them into acid. Brutal. There isn't much to say beyond just recapping it...

Watching ep 40 of Gaim, did I miss this one? I have no recolection of it despite being pretty intense. The mental torment Kouta's enduring is played very well with exactly the seriousness it should.

14 Episodes into Dragon Knight and I now remember why I liked it so much. It still has some flaws like the supoporting cast not being that interesting and some of the acting is still extremely rough. The Story and the Riders are pretty sweet though.

Though, I guess any version of Knight just has to be a badass

I like that it takes the material pretty serious and tries not to go into the same direction Power Rangers does in terms of style and atmosphere. It does its own thing with it and I like how creative they are with the source footage.

Kuuga 37.
So the three way fighting ends and everyone escapes unharmed. The acid grongi continues her rampage (Meeting a road bump in the taxi system slowing to prevent her from operating, though she does have a backup plan) while the bat goes on to fight the rose. Godai and Ichigou move in and find not only those two, but the kabuto Grongi as well. Kuuga moves to fight those two while Ichijou finds the rose Grongi, ending with him pointing the rifle right at her. Neat episode. The scientist and her son subplot is shit and they should not bring it up anymore. It initially seems like an interesting subplot, with her having to figure out how to balance spending time with her son vs doing her job to help the police. However, it's painfully clear that she just doesn't balance at all. She spends all her time at the station. Jean cares more about her son than she does, and it's getting old. Every time this plot is brought up, it plays like this Scientist: "Everything is going well!" Jean/Yusuke: "How's your son?" Scientist: *Smile fades and she looks away* Phone: "Emergency!" *End scene* Every single time. It's not going to have any worthwhile payoff because we've only ever seen her son once, too. Seriously. For as often as they bring it up, it goes nowhere, since the scientist never acknowledges she has a fucking family until someone points out that she's being a bitch by not even calling her son to tell him she's gonna be pulling an all nighter at the lab for the 300th time in a row...
